Back in the summer of 2007, all of us in the Johns Hopkins Admissions Office were celebrating another National Championship for the Men’s Lacrosse team, were getting excited about our impending move into the newly constructed Mason Hall, and were quickly reading through “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” to find out how the series would end. Personally, my work agenda primarily included planning an upgrade of the two-year old Hopkins Interactive Web site. This included endless brainstorming with colleagues and a number of current students who worked for me. One of the ideas that came out of these brainstorms was a suggestion to get the incoming Class of 2011 excited about blogging for Hopkins Interactive by holding a contest over the summer before their freshmen year would begin. I honestly can’t remember whose genius idea this was, but one thing is for sure – it was not mine but I do enjoy taking credit for it. ;-)
